Princeton Anti-Israel Hunger Strike Collapses, Solves its Problem by Rotating in New Strikers
“Seven other students have since begun hunger strikes in their place.”
This weekend, I noted that the anti-Israel hunger strike for Palestine at Princeton University didn’t seem to have an exit strategy. No one was paying attention to the students’ demands after they allegedly went without food for 8 days.
Now, they have basically thrown in the towel, but they came up with a way to keep things going, too. They brought in newer, less hungry strikers. You couldn’t make this up.

The Daily Princetonian reports:
Hunger strikers trade off with new participants after nine days
The 13 students who have only consumed water since Friday, May 3 have ended their hunger strike, Princeton Israeli Apartheid Divest (PIAD) announced on social media around 9:30 p.m. on Sunday, May 12. Seven other students have since begun hunger strikes in their place.
Organizers have repeatedly cited the strikes as a source of leverage amidst negotiations over demands with the University, which reportedly broke down at the end of last week.
After a meeting with University President Christopher Eisgruber ’83 on Monday, May 6 — a discussion that members of the sit-in said was unproductive — the sit-in’s bargaining team met with administrators on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. At the first meeting on Wednesday, administrators initially seemed willing to negotiate, members of the bargaining team said.
“The administration seems to be responding to the urgency of the hunger strike and also the encampment,” said Jessica Ng, a postdoctoral research associate on the bargaining team, at a town hall on Wednesday.
The same day, one hunger striker was admitted to the hospital, according to information posted on PIAD social media accounts. According to the group’s Instagram, Princeton Medical Center strongly encouraged the admitted hunger striker to “resume drinking and eating immediately.” The after-visit summary noted that failure to eat and drink adequately was “detrimental to [the hunger striker’s] health” and “could result in complications.”
Why not just bring in a new round of hunger strikers every few hours? That way, no one will get very hungry.
They had to update it because it was actually shorter than they first claimed https://t.co/K09c20gu9V pic.twitter.com/Tn8lSB2lug

"Rotary hunger strike" lmao…
The Jews and the Arabs who are fighting in this war fast many times a year and don't ask for a Nobel prize for it. Meanwhile the trust fund kids in the US are like "if we each take three hours we can combine to have fasted" https://t.co/0Tz78LS4tm— Seth Mandel (@SethAMandel) May 13, 2024
My favorite part is that the “new strikers” are “indefinitely fasting” https://t.co/V1noAwIbx3

This is all just theater. It’s pretty obvious now.

Pass the popcorn!!
You cad! Doncha know that people are having a hunger strike?
You better share your popcorn with the hungry strikers! They need their energy to continue their hunger strike.
Dude I’d be setting up the barbecue near those hunger Strikers.
I am rotary striking to not eat smoked bbq on alternate days. Do I qualify as down for the cause?
Told ya they never missed a meal!
Ineligible man downfield
Five yard penalty
That’s the way to do it. Strike for ten days, pass the baton and go feast on some pulled pork BBQ!
This isn’t a hunger strike. It’s a diet.
I have seen pictures of some of the campus protestors.
I hope this diet – I mean hunger strike – spreads because some of them need to.
Badly.
How about strike and be sent to jail with no food for a month?
Actually, the way to do it is to have four sets of hunger strikers. One set takes the breakfast to lunch time slot, a second set takes the lunch to supper time slot, a third set takes the supper to midnight time slot, and the fourth set takes the midnight to breakfast time slot. That way someone is fasting some of the time but no one is fasting all the time, and they can do that until hell freezes over.
The old SNL — back before they jumped the shark — would have done a killer skit on these kids next Saturday.
That’s too much hunger. 24 strikers each having to go a whole hour without stuffing their faces….for palestine or whatever
actually we had a church do that
people would come to the church for those time frames
fast and pray and then others would come in … but they had prayer lists ie: protect Israel
heal sick.. protect police..
protect America.. wisdom for
the pastor … you know NORMAL
stuff ….
Fake hunger strikes are a tool of the left. Remember this: “Palestinian hunger strike leader Barghouti ‘filmed eating” https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-39843196
Just like Pallywood, everything they do is staged and/or faked.
They are good little Hamasholes.
LOL that is too good …
just LOL ….
Can the “30 minute hunger strike” be far behind?
Micro-wave instant hunger strikes
Kids these days…. no patience at all.
Or stamina.
Not bad but how about buying hunger strike credits? Like the climate grifter fraud but they can profit off the hunger of people around the world who are really starving.
For a minute there, I thought I was reading the Babylon Bee…
They do hunger strikes the way Muslims do Ramadan—Save your appetite during day and pig out when the sun goes down.
pig out … really … Ramadan … Muslims pinout ….
Chant it with me:
The whole world is laughing!
The whole world is laughing!
9 days? 9 days?!??! And now they’re rotating them out for “health reasons”. I’ve gone longer than that without eating without a problem. Yeah, it really sucks but you won’t die if you don’t eat for 9 days. What a bunch of wussies & wimps. I have nothing but contempt for these wussies & wimps.
after they allegedly went without food for 8 days
And I don’t think anyone here believes they were actually starving themselves for those 8-9 days. And they still couldn’t have the courage of their convictions.
HA-HA!

failure to eat and drink adequately was “detrimental to [the hunger striker’s] health” and “could result in complications.”
Well, you know, that’s the actual point of a real ‘hunger strike. The threat involved is that someone will die in the hands of their persecutors and will become a martyr for the cause.
If you’re not going to hold your breath until you actually turn blue, then everyone knows it isn’t a real threat. And then the ‘hunger strike’ doesn’t work anymore. It’s mom leaving your room and shutting the door behind her as the hysterical tantrum continues, saying “She’ll be fine in a couple of hours when she can smell dinner.”
These idiots got their 15 minutes. Let’s move on please.
I actually like having their stupidity broad for all to see. That way we know what we are up against.
Can you imagine is conservatives cut off food delivery to these shit holes? They would quickly find out what constitutes a hunger strike. Involuntarily.
The whole point of a hunger strike is to cause yourself health problems and, thus, garnering sympathy for your cause.
They couldn’t get adequate sympathy no matter what they did.
Which brings us to the Rolling Stones…
But if you try sometimes well, you might find,
You get what you need.
In this case, I bet they got what they needed.
A Big Mac or a pizza.
Delivered clandestinely.
After midnight, when no one was looking.
They’ve undermined the entire point of a hunger strike – that the strikers are willing to die if their demands are not met. If the opposition knows nobody is prepared to die, the strike provides precisely zero leverage in any negotiations over the strikers’ demands.
Just another illustration of how little these mental midgets understand about the real world.
I also wonder who they expected would care about their “suffering”. I mean, I just can’t see Netanyahu pulling the IDF back because some American college students missed some meals.
I’m also reminded of the dim bulbs who were bowing down for Muslim prayers and claiming that they had converted. I doubt if 1 in 10 of them have the slightest idea what converting to Islam entails.
“Rotary Hunger Strike” would be a good name for a band, maybe a parody type band like Spinal Tap or Mac Sabbath.
In the “tradition””
?
Lol
lol
Lol
Bobby Sands rolls in his grave at these pathetic narcissistic martyrs standing for sexual atrocity and genocide.
They should have been filming all this for a Snickers commercial!
What, and pay them?
Pfft. Advertising agencies can pay actors, all without the hysterics.
But it would make a great ”hangry” commercial.
Theater of the Absurd!
“In the tradition of rotary hunger strikes…”
Those gas lights are so dim now we’re all navigating by starlight.
“Tra-di-TIONNNNNNNNNNNN…
(boom, chicka, boom, chicka, boom) tra’di’tion!”
C’mon, man! You gotta give us all a reason to dance!

here is some food for you:
eat sh ttttt
Theater, yes. Very very bad theater. OMG I can’t hunger strike because muh blood sugar! LOL snort! I can’t believe that the pres of the school could actually negotiate with these idjits with a straight face. I would have negotiated over a smorgasbord, a vast, table spanning extravaganza. Then we’d see how long they’d last.
Let’s just make sure the smorgasbord is halal. We don’t want to have anyone wet their panties.
We already have pissed off illegal invaders angry in Denver because they aren’t receiving culturally appropriate food.
We always need to make sure the sensitive among us are pampered.
I would make sure the food was kosher. 😉
There you go lol
“The 13 students who have only consumed water since Friday, May 3 ”
wanna bet this is a lie?
Tag team fasting
That’s a new concept
How about a Diet of Wurms?
Like pinch hitter in baseball?
Ivy league woke joke.
The best thing for the world would be if these “hunger strikers” aiming to kill Jews – and our Anerican culture – develop a real cause for being unable to eat – like gastric cancer.
It would be a fitting punishment from G-d.
Absolutely hilarious! Nazi-like scum demanding genocide elects to go on HUNGER strike and is such a bunch of weaklings they quit because they’re hungry!
